What's that box on top of the rifle scope ? Login/Join

Flipped on the tv show called Seal Team, A guy with a semi auto rifle had 3 bad guys in his scope. On top of his scope was a box, aprox. 4 "x 4" x 1.25." it had two circles on the muzzle end. Side by side, if those were lenses, they had covers on them. Jus curious.

This one? Mounted on the scope is a Wilcox RAPTAR, which is a combo infrared illuminator, laser, and rangefinder.

Yep. It's a Knights Armament SR-25EC

You can get your very own for a cool $4k. (Not counting the red dot, suppresor, bipod, sling, scope, mount, or laser.)

Altogether, that's at least $15,000 in hardware in that configuration, with over half being the RAPTAR itself.

I used to have one of those on my issue M4. The device on the rifle in Rogue's picture is not a PEQ-15, the shape and lens covers are wrong. I believe Rogue is correct.

Also, you usually put the PEQ-15 on the rail above the barrel as far forward as possible.

After watching a couple of you tube videos,
It would take me a month to learn how to use that thing.

Nope, I'm not very photogenic.

however: I did find a picture on the net that showed a similar configuration on flikr at:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/peosoldier/16092772320

The soldier in the center has the PEQ-15 against the front sight post and the aimpoint. However, I also had my aimpoint at the front of the upper receiver, and a BUIS behind the aimpoint. The rail is wrong (I always had a RAS, usually KAC) and I always used a sling. But the picture shows the PEQ-15 (or clone) in front of the aimpoint in the top rail for you.
